Neighboring Park: Fort Mose Historic State Park--Many visitors to Anastasia do not realize that just a short drive north is Fort Mose Historic State Park.

Just got back from a 3 day camping to Anastasia State Park and it was awesome, best camping trip ever! Weather first day was rainy, so did not do much, day 2 was beautiful, the beach is amazing! I'm sure it looked the same that day as it did the day Ponce de Leon set foot on the shore here. The campsites are spread out well, plenty of restrooms and clean showers. The park is for the most part flat and me and my daughter rode around the whole park on bikes in about 50 minutes and traveled just over 6 miles total. It is within biking range of the historic district of Saint Augustine and the National park, Castillo de San Marcos. 5 minute car drive as well... I look forward to going back soon! Was this helpful?
